Our Goal
Our aims may be considered outrageously high by many other Online Business Directories, but that is the way we like it. There is not another directory established in the UK today that shares our passion and dedication for raising funds and awareness for Charities in the United Kingdom.
We aim to make the Countryside Directory the number one choice for businesses to promote their services.
Our objective is to get the Great British public to use our directory first to find the service they need.
We do not fill our website with free business adverts; every single one of our advertisers make a contribution from the cost of their advert to a UK based charity.
So the next time you need a product or service please use our directory and have complete peace of mind that the business you choose will be a business that cares.

Who's behind it
Vincent Neale
Managing Director
Vincent has spent most of his working career in a sales/customer service environment.
Having developed the concept of the Countryside Directory he decided to take away the greed factor most
commonly associated with advertising and sales companies. He wanted to create a good, honest, ethical company
which would not only charge very little for the services provided, but also every business that proudly put
their name along side ours would be assured that their advert
benefits them as well as help raise awareness and funds for charities throughout the UK.
